Reminder of every other day!

Hello friends, I have an automation with Telegram bot to remember to take a medicine three times a week, it works very well for me.

  • alias: “Take medicine”
    trigger:
    platform: time
    at: ‘20:30:00’
    condition:
    • condition: time
      weekday:
      • mon
      • wed
      • fri
    • condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.notify_home
      state: “on”
      action:
    • service: telegram_bot.send_message
      data:
      message: “You need to take your medicine now !!!”

Now I need to do it for another medicine that has to be taken every other day, they could help me, I can not find how to do it.
Thank you very much !

You might try a notification every other 48 hours. Something like this:

automation:
  - alias: "Notify Every Other Day"
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        hours: "/48"
        minutes: 0
        seconds: 0
    action:
      - service: notify.notify
        data:
          message: "Please take your meds!"

Perhaps this is of use, too:

Very grateful @metbril, I will try the different options and then I will be publishing the result.
